~ Richard Bach
Ah,
teenagers... There are days... And then
there are days when the things they do remind you of how much your heart
overflows with love for them.
On a recent
Sunday morning, I planned to go to a fundraiser in memory of a friend who lost
her battle with pancreatic cancer three months ago -- the same cancer that
claimed my father's life. I wanted my
teenagers to accompany me because both the person and the cause mean a lot to
me. I also knew that the event would be
family friendly as it was an afternoon of dance performances. I told my teenagers that I was hoping they
would go with me. Then I held my breath
wondering what reaction I would receive.
To my surprise and delight, they agreed to come, dressed more than
appropriately and were ready to go even before I was. The kicker was that we had a great time. On the way home, I told them more than once
how very much their joining me meant.
